The $20 Piggy Bank

If only I could rub it's white little belly and ask for more.  Unfortunately, I can't figure out where the belly is.

Me in Pictures!

 

This is what Psycho Bunny shared.

1. What is your first name?  It's not Piggy, but close.
2. What is your favorite food?  Love, love, love the big piece of meat.
3. What high school did you go to?  Ruins Convent at the Carmo - I went to an all-girls' high school, and we weren't preparing to be nuns nor were we sluts.
4. What is your favorite color? Pink for me, orange for Mom.
5. Who is your celebrity crush?  Slow Hand (I think I had an erotic dream last night just thinking about this!) 
6. Favorite drink?  It's a margarita, which is the Spanish word for daisy.
7. Dream vacation?  Just luxury!
8. Favorite dessert?  Yum!
9. What do you want to be when you grow up? Happy!  Title was Don't worry, be happy.
10. What do you love most in life?  Family, my odd, widely mixed family! 
11. One word to describe you.  Unsure, and unsure.
12. Your Flickr name.  It's my old AOL name, which represented that I was multi-faceted, like a brilliant diamond. 

After Found Money

It's hard to find anything exciting to write about after finding cash money, or as Oscar Wilde would write, "ready money."

You should look at PsychoBunny's meme, I want to do it too.

Cleaning Things Up at Pkin's and Sue's

We had a yard sale today and yesterday, and we are exhausted.  Sales were light compared to the one we had in November.  I think it's the poor economy.  It's sad when people can't spend 50 cents for a sheet set. 

The cleaning up for the yard sale has literally spilled into other areas.  I got too ambitious and washed my chair pads and lightly flooded the washer.  Pkin was not amused.  I just finished cleaning up and am tempting the laundry gods again.  [I have a picture but can't find the cord.]

All seems well, the spin between wash and rinse is going smoothly.  Let's keep our fingers crossed. 

On an even happier note, behind, under and beside the washer and dryer I found:

• an old pair of Pkin's shorts (he now prefers clothes so the whiteys are trash.
• a nearly new pair of my undies.
• a box of plastic sandwich bags.
• a bag of plastic gloves.
• three, 3, three fly swatters.
• enough dusty bunnies for seven Easter's.
• enough grocery bags to severely impact global warming.
• and, twenty dollars and one cent.

It was a very good day.

More Random Thoughts

An idiot holding a cell phone to his ear almost t-boned me this morning, and he seemed indignant. 

It took me 25 minutes to get up and out of the house today - this is no small feat for a 40+ woman.

I saw something else interesting on the drive to work but I can't remember it now - if I had had my bluetooth thingy on I could have phoned myself and thus remembered. 

It's yard sale day tomorrow and I'm totally not ready but what the heck, it's all junk to me.

Hope you have a great Middle of July weekend!

Simple Math

I was intrigued by this news posting on Yahoo, Thousands at Burials.  I'm not making a judgement, I'm just doing simple math, the remains of two Israelis were exchanged "for five Lebanese prisoners and the remains of some 200 Arab fighters." 

The math says to me that 2 dead Israelis are worth 5 live Lebanese and 200 dead Arabs. 

Animals

 

Typepad is sucking again.  I have picutres for all the animals but the post keeps freezing on me.  I'm too tired to continue.

The Dalai Lama invented this quick and simple personality test.  The animals represent:

• Tiger - pride
• Sheep - love
• Cow - career
• Pig - money
• Horse - family

What is first in your life?  Are you surprised?

PS: WAMU sucks because they are charging us an arm and a leg to provide reasonable customer service for our banking needs, like find out what is the payoff on our mortgage, among other things.

So Many Things to Share

Visa and Mastercard cite on their information to vendors, that sales will increase if they accept credit cards; "Consumers spend more when they are not constrained by cash on hand."  Visa reviewed 100,000 restaurant transactions and found that people who paid by credit card spent 30% more.  Wow!  Tear up those cards now.

Typepad is beginning to suck again.  I just lost two other topics.

To summarize, WAMU sucks and looks like it's going to be the next IndyMac. 

Lastly, place these five animals into order of your preference:

Tiger, Sheep, Cow, Pig, Horse

Results will be posted tomorrow.

Beyond @nal

I'm using the ampersand to avoid detection by the fetish folks, and this post has nothing to do with $ex (see? I'm throwing off pursuit again. I still get a few odd comments and links from the "I love my feet" post.)   

I need my Outlook box to be on my bottom tool bar on the left most side.  (If you know the real names of these items or places on the Desktop, please let me know and I'll update this post.)  I keep lots of windows open, it bugs Pkin to no end.  I like to move around and can multi-task fairly well so it isn't too big a problem, when Outlook is easy to access.  Right now it's number three of five.  I will finish this post and correct the situation.

You may wonder, "How did Sue get into this predicament?"  Well, I will tell you.  My laptop freaked with gigantic Excel files and I had to restart.  It takes longer to get Outlook up and running than Excel so I started with the work that I needed to get done first.  I finished that but had a few IE windows open so I decided to post and the thing that struck me the most was this.  The other equally @nal topic would be the decline and utter failure of US banking and that's just too depressing.

Let's have sharing time:  What are you @nal about? 

Ham Radio

I knew I was a porker - just always have been, and now I have a General Class Operators license, which means that I can pass a test and the Pkin is very persuasive or I'm a pushover.
